Stoneware is part of the Maison collection, which was released end of 2017 if I recall correctly. It is one of the speckled polishes of the brand, meaning it has a cream texture to which specks were added to give it a beautiful dimension.

Stoneware‘s shade is a very very light peach with copper specks. It is as unique as it is superb! Just like all the other Cirque Colors polishes I bought during the sale week-end on Hypnotic Polish, I had Stoneware on my wishlist for a while and I am oh so happy to have it now standing on my nail polish rack!

Without any further due, let me show you Stoneware.

The brush and the way it applies

My opinion on the brand’s brush is the same as the brush itself is the same no matter the shade so I will stop annoying you with this any further. You may refer to my previous reviews of Cirque polishes if you want to know how I feel about their brush 😉

Stoneware applies like a dream and it is so pleasant 🙂

The texture and the opacity

Stoneware‘s texture is identical to its finish: cream. It is as perfect as the gel texture of the brand. I love it so much! It is so great to apply as it does not run, it is not goopy, it smoothes by itself, their cream texture is really awesome!

As far as the opacity of Stoneware, I would say that I am thrilled about it as I got such an opaque result after three super thin coats. Honestly, you would get the same finish with two slightly thicker coats 🙂

The drying

Cirque Colors polishes are -out of my entire collection of nail polishes- the ones that dry down the quickest on the nails and Stonewaredries down just as quickly as its brothers and sisters. Is it not so cool to achieve a mani in less than 15 minutes?!

The finish

As per usual, I have not applied any top coat over Stoneware and oh boy! How glossy it is! Whether a nail polish is glossy or not without top coat on is not something I care about because I always finish my manis with a good coat of top coat but I take note of this aspect anyways 🙂

How does it hold?

Stonewareis in the average when it comes to the holding power of the Cirque nail polishes I own as it holds up to 5 days on my nails. However, it is similar to Central Park After Dark which I talked about here, it tends to chip off. Not before the 6th day though!

The removal

A nail polish that contains specks might be frightening when it is time to remove it but be reassured, Stonewareremoves as easily as a cream polish. For someone like me, who hates the nail polish remover step, it matters believe me 🙂

Where can you find it?

You can get yours from the online shop of Hypnotic Polish, here. It is also available on the e-shop of Nailland, here and on the brand’s website too, of course here!
